The window is a pretty frame, a cage, a tease
Revealing nature, benign and not.
Drawing us in, pushing us back
It comforts, reminds, relieves.
It is unchanged but we are not.
Together but apart
Close though far away
Forces push us apart. It’s unnatural. It’s hard. Effort causes suffering and success.
We bend, we comply
Until one day we don’t
How long until the regret wakes us? We hide again.
You are me and I am you
Together we are all and everything
We are not apart,
Will never be apart but always together, always one.
For better or worse. For both the better and the worse.
